The crew of a train knocked down a fire onboard Saturday afternoon while east of Port Costa in the East Bay, according to firefighters.

The Crockett Carquinez Fire Department said it and the Contra Costa Fire Protection District both responded to the report of the fire, but the train operators had already dealt with the fire 

Crews stayed on-site to help cool the engine compartment down, the department said. 

No word on what caused the fire.
